Bug is a bright yellow insect who appeared in The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. Bug is the meek henchman to Huxley, carrying out his orders with a shrug. Bug's personality is such that he accepts and even enjoys the mistreatment, until Elmo finally shows him what true kindness and friendship are. Bug also appeared in the introduction with Elmo to convince people that they are going to go on an adventure to Grouchland.

Tyco released a small talking plush version of Bug.

The Bug puppet was subsequently reused as the Jitterbug in Episode 4117 of Sesame Street, and as Bill the Bug on Panwapa.
